The family of James "Jim" Trezise has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.

James was 75 years young at the time of his passing.

James served in the U.S. Marine Corp from June 1962 thru June 1964. He was honorably discharged when it was discovered that he had flat feet. His rank was PFC (E-2) at the time of his honorable discharge. He was an Anti-Tank Assault Specialist.

James was awarded the Pistol and Riffle Sharpshooter Badges.

James was proud to wear his vest displaying his Marine patches. He was very proud to be a U. S. Marine and displayed his favorite patch which stated “American by Birth, Marine by Choice". He was an IBM Analyst during his civilian career. He enjoyed golf, bowling and loved spending time and money at the casinos. He also loved spending time with his family.
 
James leaves behind his spouse Barbara, sister Caroline, sons Steve and Bret, and daughter Stacey, 10 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.
